Hey all,
I have this PC built for Video editing, gaming and VR possibly (would only be running one at a time) and would like to know if its any good ?

CPU : i7 6700K overclocked 4.4Ghz

GPU : GTX 980Ti 6GB SLI G1 Gaming Version PCI-E 3.0 16X Video card , 2816 CUDA ,1291 MHz, Triple Cooling

Mobo : Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 5 ATX Intel Z170 Chipset for LGA1151,ATX Form,4x DDR4 DIMM,Display Port/HDMI,M.2 Socket connector,Killer E2201 Lan,SATA3,USB3,USB3.1,USB Type-C,Support for 3-Way/2-Way

Memory : 32GB DDR4

PSU : Cooler Master 1000W

SSD : 500GB

Storage : 2TB

This is what I'm thinking of going with but I'm a bit hesitant over the CPU.. and just wondering if the PC would be bottlenecked or anything. Just really would like feedback and what problems I'd be likely to encounter. Thanks

Liquid Cooling : Nepton 240M

Ah, I missed the SLI bit. Even so, I would still recommend a single GTX 1080. From a gaming perspective, SLI is very hit and miss and in some cases, can make a game run worse. You also won't have to worry about the extra heat and you can use a lower-wattage PSU. That said, a multi-GPU setup is very advantageous in Adobe Premiere Pro, if that's the video editing tool you'll be using.

The PSU is a good quality one, so there's no issue there.

But isnt 2 GTX 980 Ti better than the GTX 1080 ?

Going with a single 1080 for now is suffiecient and you can SLi it later on if you feel the need to. Also, if you are editing and rendering, the 2011 platform is a better choice:
